Seen on DVD: Alien & Super Troopers

I picked Alien because it’s a perfect example of what a horror movie should be: tight, dark corridors, the crushing black of space, and a creature you never quite see until the end. This one gave me nightmares the first time I saw it.

My other pick is Super Troopers because there is no better movie to come home to after a long day at work. Throw it in, pop open a few beers, and laugh your face off. This one has everything from wacky car chases to a powdered-sugar delousing. Plus, who hasn’t been a little distracted by the repeater...by the repeater.
